Everyday super

Acknowledged super powers, bestowed upon heroes, raising them above the rest of us, simple mortals. In a posting of Nov. 15, Rachel referenced her super powers. Following are some of what I consider real-life super powers, one or more of which I may possess.

I know in five minutes or less I may think of a dozen others. They will keep. For all of you, and you know who you are, able to leap tall buildings and such, it may be time to design the costume and pick a name for your super hero self.

I know exactly what other people need to feel better. Down to coffee, down to socks, down to sex, down to lollipops from their childhood they haven't seen in 30 years. And it's dangerous because on the flip-side I know exactly what could hurt them too. But I think maybe that's why I feel more super hero than super villain. I try with all of my being never to act on the villain.I like real-life super powers. I like the thought that we all have things in us that can change others and do good and change ourselves.I'll have to think on the name. It's gotta be a good one ;-)xoRachel

Susan - We CAN do so much and it is good to be reminded, to put a stop to undervaluing our skills. Arm movement, seldom given its deserved appreciation. And the black sweater, so much better for keeping the low profile.

Rachel - Names...Intuitron...it is past my smart time, so I offer no excuse. It does sound like the power of an empath, super hero, never super villain. The knowing, and I do believe we have much greater access to it that we allow. Thank you for being the spark that started this line of thinking. xo

Kass - Thank you. I am not sure how many I can claim but among people I know, even in a more peripheral way via their blogs, there is vast power, bringing good, illuminating the path. I am so glad that we can meet here, expanding our acquaintance a comment, a sentence, at a time.

Denise - Trust me, they are/will be so dazzled by your superness they will not even notice. Perhaps some swim trunks over the existing ensemble would help you feel more fully garbed, but not required. This is the home of come-as-you-are super heroes

Robert - Hello. Being within any distance of explaining any theory seems like a borderline super power in itself...would that either of those two skills were mine. BBQ man is probably much more in demand than Batman and I seem to remember some inventive and appreciated beverages to accompany said bbq.

Sherry - Because it seems to be a power that has eluded me, I have respect for the being and staying in love that I believe I glimpse occasionally. The knowing, and not being dazzled or misled, and the lasting power, as you say, the wisdom. It strikes me as a rare gift, one of the truly super powers.
